AKA Leet-speek, the supposed language of the hacker elite (thus “leet”), deliberately misspelt and with numbers and symbols substituted for letters as often as possible.
I have always gotten my panties in a wad about incorrect spelling and grammar, and I don’t have any plans to unwad them. Can we get away with saying “Two plus two is five. Well, not really, but you know what I mean.”? There is a right and a wrong way to do things!
Besides, I suck at just about everything except spelling, so if everyone stops caring about it, I’ll be up the creek.
The NY Times today had an op-ed piece decrying the book Eats, Shoots and Leaves, and saying that we are being too picky about grammar and punctuation. I submitted this letter:
I’m not surprised that the Times would come out in favor of fuzzy and misused punctuation—this is, after all, a paper whose Style Book permits such sentences as “DVD’s became popular in the 1990’s.” You may be The Newspaper of Record, but you don’t know an apostrophe from Shinola.
The question is do you want to be know as the Spelling/Grammar Nazi?
You should never try to teach a pig to sing. It wastes your time and annoys the pig.
Eve, please tell us if they print this!
k?thx!
Of coarse, knot! 
I blame this board. I visit several other boards, and one in particular has devotees of the attrocious chat speak as well as constant grammar and spelling mistakes (not typos, mistakes). I have all but stopped visiting that board, because I can no longer stand it. I am far from perfect, but those posters are only one step away from mouth-breather status.
Do I make this known at that board? No, it would do no good. So, instead, I spend more time here!
